MANSFIELD – One Mansfield City Schools bus rear-ended another on South Trimble Road near Marion Avenue around 2:30 p.m. Thursday.

No students were on the buses at the time the accident occurred in front of the Dwight Schar College of Nursing, Mansfield police said.

No one was injured, and damage to the vehicles was minimal, according to police.

Traffic reports said Brenda Louise Jarrell, 60, of Mansfield driving the first bus, was stopped in the roadway behind another vehicle when a second bus driven by Ronald D. Rust, 59, of Shelby, failed to stop and rear-ended the first bus. Rust was issued a citation for failure to maintain an assured clear distance.

School district spokesman Larry Gibbs said both buses were on their way to Malabar Middle School at the time of the collision, and end-of-day routes were not affected by the incident.

"A police report was made, but the buses continued on their way. They will remain in service," he said Thursday afternoon.
